Muy buena casa, tranquila y excelente zona. La piscina y terraza excelentes. Tuvimos problemas durante los 2 primeros dias con la electricidad (llegamos un sĂĄbado) que se solucionaron el lunes. Meri, la persona encargada, fue muy atenta y rĂĄpida respondiendo. La casa es muy grande y creo que algunas zonas deberĂan haber estado mĂĄs limpias y con mejor mantenimiento. Disfrutamos mucho.
We were a group of 5 golfers enjoying the great courses in the area. With 5 double bedrooms the villa can easily accommodate large families or groups. It is located in quiet area near Valderrama and Almenara golf courses and is 10 - 15 minutes from the marina and beaches in Sotogrande as well as the many restaurants in Sotogrande, Guadiaro and Torreguadiaro.
The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen are finished to a high specification, and the outside areas including the pool are spot on.
The owner responds to all queries quickly and ensured someone was there to meet and greet and provide keys.
We all agreed we would like to come back with our families next time !
The villa had all the amenities to suit out parties needs. The pool was clean as was the property. We had ten people in the villa and there was ample room for us all. Peter made sure we had everything we required when we arrived and was very accommodating.
We had a lovely stay at the family with our large family. It accommodated us perfectly as the villa is very spacious. The cots and high chairs for the babies saved us from having to bring our own and overall the amenities were great. We would not hesitate to book this villa again. Thanks to our host Peter who was very helpful.
We spent a very enjoyable holiday at this beautiful villa last October. The online photographs don't really do it justice. It is a stunning property with plenty of space for a family. On arrival in Gibraltar it couldn't have been easier. The owners father was waiting for us, as arranged, as we came through from the small baggage reclaim ( and small but well stocked duty free) with the keys and then drove with us to the villa and showed us around the property. We understand this was because he was in Gibraltar at the time and cannot always do this but it was a very impressive service to start off our holiday.
The villa is beautifully decorated and the pretty garden is well maintained. There is plenty of bedlinen, towels, pool towels etc. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to self cater and there are two terraces with ample room to eat alfresco.
The family loved the pool and even though we had a two and a four year old there is a shallow end with steps that made it safer for them with close supervision. There is also a spotlessly clean high chair and travel cot at no extra charge which was a great help for the baby
The TV and DVD player were excellent with plenty of English channels and a large selection of DVD's to choose from.
A few minutes drive away is an excellent Supermarket plus there is a very large Carrefour in La Linea, about 20 minutes drive away.
Sotogrande is very quiet. We wanted a restful holiday so this suited us but a car is essential. There are no shops within easy walking distance.
We did several trips into Gibraltar which was fun. The Rock Tour is worth doing and it was lovely to see the Apes up close. We enjoyed the cheap low tax shopping, !! We also enjoyed a day trip to Estapona which is about 30 minutes drive away. It's a pretty town with good restaurants.
Local restaurants were cheap and very good. We tended to go to Port Sotogrande to eat. Every Sunday there is an excellent Market in the Port area selling very good quality goods.
We can truly highly recommend this villa for a family holiday. Peter Zammit went out of his way to make everything easy for us and on the one occasion we had to ring him (we couldn't find the clothes airer ) he sorted the problem immediately.
In conclusion
The villa is spotlessly clean
It is well furnished with quality beds and bedlinen, plus very comfy sofa's
The kitchen is excellent
The pool is clean and well maintained
The BBQ is very good
A car is essential
Upon arrival in Spain we called the agent to get the keys, was given a clear and precise map of how to find the villa. The villa is set within the exclusive area of Sotogrande with security on all access roads in and out of the entire luxurious estate.
Although we were not the to play golf the villa is ideally located for golfers. Valderama is just one of many golf courses with in the complex.
The villa itself is well laid out and set to accomodate all members of the family. There are balconies on all 3 levels with eating areas on the bottom 2, allowing you plenty of space to enjoy family meals. The BBQ is a welcome touch. The bathrooms are all luxurious, the main bathroom had a jacuzzi type bath, whilst the master ensuite had a spa type shower system.
When you have had enough sun for the day there is a games room where the whole family can enjoy playing ping pong, pool and darts, for the more energetic members there are some free weights and exercise bike. The swimming pool is nice and relaxing at any time of the day, just the right size.
We hired a car whilst there which is definitely a must as there didn't seem to be anything within walking distance. The local supermarket isn't far and is well stocked, We even bumped into Gareth Bale whilst shopping there.
We visited the marina where there was a good selection of pop up restuarants. The boats were lovely to look at, nice and relaxing.
Gibraltar is only 20 minutes away by car and definitely worth a visit, we even went a couple of evenings for dinner as they have a wonderful selection of meals, the La Sala ship is well worth a visit for dinner. Don't forget your passports when visiting.
We truly had a wonderful time and hope to return again in the not too distant future!
